Starblends Are Here!

I just got my 9 Starblends with a foam pallet!! I can't wait to try them out. My question is...when they are in the pallet..do you keep the lids on them?

I would keep the lids on as they do seam to get messy..I have the white and the black and wanting to get the yellow orange and red....

I am a huge starblend user and have been for several years, I was always afraid to sponge paint, but I have recently stepped outside of my comfort zone and have done some sponge painting, (yeah! and I am loving it!) I have also recently split my starblends I have a pink and white, red and white, green and orange and a yellow and orange. I also recently started using them wet instead of dry, I have never done this before, but man let me tell you the colors are way more vibrant wet, especially the purple one, which I never liked, but now I do.
If you use starblends wet you will see how the paint drys into a matte finish.

I have used the starblends in really humid weather and it does still melt away but maybe just a little less than regular paint, but not by much.

you do have to use more paint on your brush when your painting over dry starblends, I use a big blush brush and go over the whole face before I start painting, it helps get the excess off, they can be dusty.

I will always use the red for my spiderman faces.
I will always use black for over the eyes ( skull or monsters)
I will always use white for over the eyes and muzzles.
I will always use the pink for many girly things.


I still use the smoothie blenders but I also use compact make-up pads.

nice to meet all of you.

Very interesting. I might try them wet too one day. They are way cool, go on so easily and cover so much area quickly....

For now I have lots of Wolfe Bros. paint, and like how it goes on so will stick with that for now for wet but good to know.

I have dropped mine and they crumbled, if you drop yours you can put a few drops of water in it, put it in the microwave for no more than 10 seconds and press down with the backing of a spoon and wala your paint is good as new, this is how i made split starblends.

Me too - welcome to the crew! I also use smoothie blenders most of the time, but compact make-up pads for covering large areas. I also like how I can "curl" the make-up pad around my finger and get in exactly where I want to.

Excellent tips ! This forum Rocks because everyone replies...its so supportive,helpful and you are all amazing!!

"Three Cheers"

After reading up on all the Star Blend compliments I decided to try it out at my little kids B'day party today.

I am glad that Metina will be carrying these. The product goes on well but you DO need to have something like a lollipop or stick sponge to have control of it. Even though I used my black paint for lines, the SB seemed to escape me a bit more than I wanted in some places until I discovered that a small, stiffer brush was a help.

I did a lot of power rangers today.

The red eye effect actually looked kinda cool so I left it!
Some negatives: It is very dusty and you may waste some product if you are not careful. I just used the stiffer brushes to pick up the loose product by pouncing it gently in the SB dust and then pouncing more gently on the face.

Pretty Cool,

Welcome home!
